DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION

Federal Transit Administration

Environmental Impact Statement on

New Rochelle Intermodal

Transportation Center Project, New

Rochelle, New York

AGENCY: Federal Transit Administration,

DOT.

ACTION: Notice of intent to prepare an

environmental impact statement (EIS).

SUMMARY: Pursuant to Section 102(2)(C)

of the National Environmental Policy

Act (NEPA) of 1969, as amended, and as

implemented by the Council on

Environmental Quality (CEQ)

regulations (40 CFR Parts 1500–1508)

and Federal Transit Administration

(FTA) regulations under 23 CFR Part

771, the FTA and the Westchester

County Department of Transportation

(WCDOT) intend to prepare an

Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)

to assess the impacts of a project known

as the New Rochelle Intermodal

Transportation Center. The EIS will also

comply with the requirements of the

1990 Clean Air Act Amendments

(CAAA) and Executive Order 12898 on

Environmental Justice.

The project consists of a proposed

multi-level garage and other vehicular

and pedestrian circulation

improvements to be constructed on the

site of the existing at-grade parking lot

along the southbound Metro-North

railroad tracks at the New Rochelle

Train Station in New Rochelle

(Westchester County), New York. The

proposed project is intended to be

financed through FTA and local funding

sources. The project is being

administered by the City of New

Rochelle (City) Department of

Development on behalf of WCDOT.

The proposed garage and station site

redesign are intended to better serve

Metro-North and Amtrak train

operations, Westchester County bus

service, taxi and private bus operations,

and commuters parking at the station,

and improve pedestrian and vehicle

circulation. The proposed project

includes a new 1,000-space parking

structure, improved vehicular and

pedestrian circulation, bicycle storage,

and separate taxi, bus, and auto

passenger pick up/drop off areas. The

project will be designed to be in

character with the New Rochelle train

station building on the project site.

In addition to assessing the proposed

intermodal center, the EIS will evaluate

the No Build alternative and any other

reasonable alternatives determined

through the scoping process. Scoping

will occur both through correspondence

with interested persons, organizations,

and federal, state, and local agencies

and through a public meeting.

Involved agencies may include:

National Railroad Passenger Corporation

(Amtrak), New York State Thruway

Authority, Metro-North Railroad (MTA),

and New York State Historic

Preservation Office (SHPO).

DATES: Comment Due Date: Written

comments on the scope of alternatives

and impacts to be considered should be

sent to the City of New Rochelle by and

will be accepted by the Department up

to thirty days following the close of the

public scoping meeting. Oral comments

may be given at the scoping meeting.

Scoping Meeting: A public scoping

meeting will be held on Tuesday, July

21, 1998, 8:00 PM, in City Hall, 515

North Avenue, New Rochelle, NY.

ADDRESSES: Written comments on the

project scope should be sent to Mark

Stellato, City of New Rochelle,

Department of Development, New

Rochelle City Hall, 515 North Avenue,

New Rochelle, NY 10801.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT:

Anthony G. Carr, Director, Planning and

Program Development, Federal Transit

Administration, at 212–264–8162.

SUPPLEMENATRY INFORMATION:

Scoping

The FTA is initiating a scoping

process for the purpose of determining

the scope of issues to be addressed in

the EIS. All interested individuals,

organizations, and Federal, State, and

local agencies are invited to participate

in identifying any significant social,

economic, and environmental issues

related to the proposed project and

defining the alternatives to be evaluated

in the EIS. A draft Scoping Document

describing the purpose of the project

and impact issues is being mailed to

affected Federal, State, and local

agencies as well as interested parties.

Copies of the draft Scoping Document

may be obtained from Mark Stellato,

City of New Rochelle Department of

Development at (914) 654–2191.

Following a presentation on the

project, comments on the scope of the

EIS will be received and transcribed at

this meeting. Scoping comments may be

submitted at the public scoping meeting

and/or submitted in writing at the

address listed above. It is important that

interested parties and Federal, State,

and local agencies take this opportunity

to identify environmental concerns that

should be addressed in the EIS. Further,

because the preliminary design

components of the New Rochelle

Intermodal Transportation Center

Project are currently being formulated

and refined, the scoping process offers

an opportunity to incorporate public

environmental concerns into the urban

design and engineering processes of the

project.

Description of Study Area and Project

Need

The proposed action (New Rochelle

Intermodal Transportation Center)

includes the construction of a 1,000-

space, multi-level parking garage on the

site of the existing New Rochelle train

station as well as the reconfiguration

and redesign of the train station site to
